My Masked Wife Chapter 55
Several days have passed since his fight with Catherine but Derek hadn't bothered to make amends with her. He was hell-bent on staying away from her this time around and was sticking to it.Since the fight, he only went home once and that was to pick up some clothes that he was going to be wearing for the time being. Fortunately for him, he didn't meet her at home when he did that.He couldn't deny the fact that he missed being at his place. However to get over that, he decided to immerse himself in his work and the final sealing of the deal with New Age Holdings."Don't you think you're being ridiculous?" Marcus, his friend whom he hadn't spoken to in a while, asked him over the phone as he checked through some files in his office."Because I'm staying away from home, I'm ridiculous?""Yes," Marcus said. "What message are you trying to pass by staying away from her? You're simply making it known to her that you know about what she has been doing behind your back. I thought you said y
My Masked Wife Chapter 56
Derek arrived at the address sent to him less than thirty minutes later. It was a bar downtown, a location that was secluded enough for cheats like his wife.He wasn't surprised that she would meet up with a man in such a location. It was away from prying eyes and was a sure bank into doing whatever escapade she wanted.When he got there, the first person he saw was Edna who was standing beside a car that he presumed to be her own. She was standing patiently in wait and only loosened up when she saw him."You're here earlier than expected," she said, noting the fact that he showed up at a nigh perfect time."I had to. Hope they're still in there?" he asked, gesturing toward the bar they were both facing at the moment."Yes, they are. Except there's a back way out of there, I'm sure they're still in there," Edna said. "Let's go in."With that, they both went toward the entrance leading into the bar, the soft music being played in there already making its way into their ears.Once they

At that moment, Derek didn't exactly know how to feel. He was mostly embarrassed already about what he just did but there was this feeling that something wasn't right.The shock that overwhelmed him was minimal only because he already received a call from Nadia about his wife's actual whereabouts.He put down the phone, hanging up the call to get a better view of the somewhat familiar woman.Edna had joined him and she obviously saw what was wrong which was why she said nothing. She too was shocked as she looked at the woman that she thought to be Derek's wife."What is going on here? Why would you take my shades off my face?" the woman questioned Derek in a harsh tone as she moved to stand up from her seat but was held back down by Richard Langston."Richard, who is she?" Edna asked her husband seated awkwardly beside his supposed lover."Answer that question. And also answer why she looks so much like my wife!" Derek snapped at the man who was finding it difficult to say something.
My Masked Wife Chapter 58
Edna took the lady to a place not too far away from the parking lot. It was quite a distance because she didn't want either Derek or her husband to intrude in the conversation she intended to have with the lady.They both found somewhere to sit. However, the lady didn't look comfortable sitting beside her. She was sure that if the lady had the chance, she would leave the place.Edna had so many questions that she wanted to ask her. She didn't know where to start from but she was going to start anyway.She was surprised that she wasn't overwhelmed by anger. Instead, the only thing consuming her was the confusion of the incident of today.Finally, she first asked, "What's your name again?"Reluctantly, the lady responded: "Anne.""Now, Anne, you'll have to start explaining yourself to me because I can smell something fishy going on around here. I don't know what has been going on between you and Richard but I know it hasn't been something good.All along, I thought the lady with him was

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Edna asked the lady, her tone laced with impatience. It was way over two minutes but she still hasn't heard anything from her."Because I don't know where to begin!" the lady said in a hysterical voice."I already gave you the basics for what you need to say. Use that as a frame," Edna simply told her.This time she didn't make it sound like dhe was tired of waiting for her to begin. She was calm this time around as she wanted the lady to know that she was going to wait for her to speak.It looked like the lady was taking her time to speak but her expression showed that she wanted to say something. And that was what Edna was waiting for.Eventually, the lady said, "The first time I figured out that Mr. Richard wanted me to dress up like Catherine, I confronted him about it.I asked him why he would make me dress up like someone else just to be with him and he told him it was what he loved. Something about it makes him feel fresh."A fetish, Edna thoug

"Richard was never with Catherine?""He was never with her," the lady admitted. "He tried but never got the chance to be with her because she kept rejecting him each time he made an advance toward her.""And how do you know all this?" Edna asked."Because he told me. He was never bothered to mention the fact that he tried getting her but each time failed no matter what he did."Edna noticed the edge in her tone when she spoke. The lady was clearly trying to suck in her emotions but she wasn't handling it well."How did that make you feel?" Edna wanted to know. She was trying to take advantage of the lady's vulnerability and it was working."I've never felt good about it," the lady stated. "It was disrespectful to me because he was always rubbing it unknowingly to my face that I would never be good enough for him. Of course, it hurts to know that.""Yet that didn't stop you from staying with him.""I love him. That's all that matters."Edna shook her head. She couldn't believe her ears

"Okay, okay. I'll speak."It was then that Derek decided to let the man go. But even when he did that, it was kind of rough that the man almost fell to the ground.He watched as the man adjusted the shirt he was wearing in order to look more appropriate. He also noticed the scars on the man's face which came from beating him up.Derek had never been prouder of something he had done than this."It was never Catherine," Richard finally confessed."Then why did you lie to me that it was her?""How on earth was I to admit that I was messing around with someone that I made to look so much like her?""So you're telling me now that you made someone impersonate as my wife just so you could fulfill whatever stupid fantasy of yours, is that it?""It wasn't a fantasy.""Shut up, you idiot!" Derek barked at him. "You shouldn't even have the mouth to talk now that I know all this! I should involve the police at this point."The man didn't seem fazed by his threat of the police. He wasn't surprised
My Masked Wife Chapter 62
"After blackmailing Catherine and not getting a positive response from her, I decided to stalk her in order to get more evidence about her relationship with that man," Richard stated."What did you get from stalking her?" Derek wanted to know."I was able to find out about her strange movements. She always left the company at noon and I figured it was the man she went to meet each time. But I never got enough evidence to back that up because it seemed she knew she was being followed and so hid her tracks well."So, Nadia wasn't lying about her going out of the company every afternoon, Derek thought. Except that all along, it wasn't with whom he thought she did it with.How was there a man in the picture that he had no idea about? Was this so-called man the reason she attempted an abortion if she actually had one?He still had to deal with the man in front of him first which was why he decided to put off the thoughts from his head for the time being."All this while, and I'm talking ab

"What are you talking about?" Marcus asked, his expression a mixture of confusion and surprise."You know what I'm talking about. Stop acting like you don't," Derek said."Well, I don't. And I'll be leaving now before you consume me with your bullshit.""The past two weeks made me realize something, Marcus. And it's the fact that your enemies are actually the ones closer to you. You have been my enemy for but u didn't know all these while.""Did you drink something? Why are you speaking nonsense? And since when did I become your enemy?"Derek stood up, facing the man directly. "That's a good question… When?""Can you two sit your asses down and explain to me what is going on here?" Catherine said to them, almost screaming at them.Derek looked at the woman. "I haven't said you should talk," he told her."And since when did you get to give me how and when I should talk?""Since I found out that my allegation against you has always been true."Catherine wasn't getting a hang of what was

As Marcus was reluctantly finding a way to get in between the couple, Catherine, who still had a frown etched on her face, whispered to Derek."What is he doing here? I thought it's supposed to be just you and me," she said with a stern tone."I know I said that. But Marcus is just here to join us briefly. I can promise that his stay here won't be for long then we can have the time to ourselves," Derek told his wife.Catherine wasn't buying that. And she was this close to telling him to send Marcus away when the man eventually came back with an empty chair which he placed in the middle of the couple.Marcus took a seat but was still confused about what was going on because this wasn't what he had in mind when he got the invitation from Derek to show up at Kingston Hotel."What's going on here, Derek? Why is there a cake on your table? Is it someone's birthday?" Marcus directed the question to Derek while trying to make a guess.He couldn't deny that he noticed the hard stare Catherine

"I'm home," Derek announced as soon as he got into his apartment. "Where are you, Kathy?" he called out as he went to take a seat just so be could relax himself."I'm upstairs," was the response he got from his wife to which he nodded."Alright, I'm coming."Two minutes later, after getting a cup of water, he was on the way to their room upstairs with his briefcase in his hand. He was sure that the woman would be busy when he gets there and it was no surprise that she was on her laptop when he got there.She was sitting close to where the mirror in the room was and he watched her from where he was standing, seeing that she was typing into her laptop. There was also a document on her laptop which she kept glancing at occasionally.He dropped the briefcase on the bed and then took off his jacket which he also placed on the bed. Then he walked over to her, standing right behind her.In that position, he bent and put his hands around her waist. "What are you doing?" he asked as he whisper

"How did it go?" Derek asked the lady who seemed to be more interested in the ice cream she was consuming than him."How did what go?" Gina asked in return as she scooped a mouthful from the cone. As the cream melted down her mouth, she felt a sensation that made her giggle without a care in the world."Now that was weird," Derek stated but then got back to his question. "How did the meeting with Eugene go? Was he able to convince you this time around?"Gina wanted to take another scoop from the ice cream when she heard that question which then put her to a halt."Hmph, of course not. I already told you that I wouldn't be accepting his offer, didn't I? It seems like you forgot to relay my message to him," she said and then got back to her ice cream.At that point, Derek was getting annoyed with how immersed she was in it. He just had to hold in his annoyance lest he snaps at her."I did relay your message but it was too late for him to turn back," he told her."So you mean you just to

"I think it would have been better if you had called me before coming over to the company. What if I was away? It means you would have wasted a full trip down here," Derek said in a scolding manner to the woman sitting opposite him.Edna didn't care about what he was saying and she revealed that completely through her expression. It was as if she just wanted him to talk and then get through with it."At least I met you in, didn't I? I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of it," the woman said.Derek didn't respond to that, perhaps worried that he was going to speak out of line if he did."So, why did you reject my offer? You had a long time to decide and at the end of it, you said no. There has to be a reason. And it had better be a good one."He sat there quietly for some time before he finally decided on saying something."It doesn't feel right, Edna."The woman's gaze at him was a mixture of stern and confusion. "What doesn't? Owning a business or my offer?" she asked

Derek felt a little tired as he walked back into the Cora Limited after having lunch at the eatery down by the road. It was supposed to be his go-to place whenever work got overwhelming but today was just different.He just wanted to try something different other than skipping meals or simply just having something little in the company's eatery which only made light snacks.He knew that having a meal at his go-to eatery would affect his work rate but he was willing to risk it.A honk from a car caught his attention right after he passed by the parking lot. He was sure that it was for him which was why he turned around to find out which car had honked at him.It didn't take him too long to find the car as well as the person who operated it. And right out of that very car, Eugene Leviathan stepped out, looking all smiley like there was something good he wanted to talk about."Mr. McKay. Good to see you again," Eugene Leviathan said to Derek like it was the first time he was seeing him i

"Who's that again?" Gina asked, trying to rack her brain for any information related to the name Derek just told her."The ex-wife of Richard Langston," Derek responded."Wait, isn't that the man that you thought was having an affair with your wife?""Yes.""Oh. So when did you get this close to his wife so much that she offered you her business to handle?"The way Gina said it made it seem like he was having an illicit affair with Edna and that didn't look good at all."Ex-wife, Gina. They are divorced now. And the way you say it, it sounds like I'm doing something wrong with her.""I never implied it that way. You're the one with the ideas here," she defended herself."Whatever," he said. "Edna and I kept in touch after we both realized that we were chasing the wrong thing. But it didn't change the fact that her husband was a chronic cheat.Anyways, their business was handed over to her by the court but she doesn't want to be around here anymore which is why she wants someone else t

The sudden sound of something slamming on to his desk knocked Derek out of his thoughts. It came as a shock, that for a few seconds, he couldn't get a hold of himself."What did you do that for?" he asked through gritted teeth. He was furious at the person that did that just to get his attention."I've been calling your name but you didn't hear me." He heard Gina's voice and that meant she was that person."Well, you should have called harder."He had to put both hands over his face just to take out the wobbly feeling that had overwhelmed him from the shock.He was still furious at that point. If it had been someone else other than Gina, he would have taken his frustration out on the person. He could only keep his rage to himself because of her."I'm sorry," Gina apologized. "I shouldn't have done what I did but I was getting scared when you didn't answer which was why I resorted to that."He looked up at her. "What happened to tapping me, Gina? Wouldn't that have been much better?""

"You do realize it's my weekend you're consuming," Derek pointed out to Jasmine who was dragging him."I know," she said. "But there's no one else I could call."She came to his place that afternoon and told him that she had an event to attend but didn't have anyone to go with which was why she decided to come to his place.He had declined the offer at first but she kept insisting and even resorted to pulling him out of the house. If Catherine had been home, the sight wouldn't have been pretty.At one point, when they were about to get to his car, he pulled his arm out of her reach."I can't follow you," he told the lady who turned around to face him."But why?" she asked with a pout."I've got to go to work tomorrow, Jasmine. I can't afford a day out at this time when I should be resting.""And I'll be out of the city by tomorrow too. Let me have this, please."Her emphasis on the 'please' was a bit infuriating due to the way she made mention of it. It was as if she wanted to do anyt
